tracked leaders, chase winner 2f out, ridden and kept on same pace
made all, ran on final furlong, comfortable
pressed winner, pushed along halfway, ridden and kept on same pace
soon outpaced and pushed along, never a factor
LOVE DREAMS made all for a convincing victory on ground with some give at Hamilton and though that wasn't the greatest of races he'll come on a bundle for the experience and can remain unbeaten. Scofflaw stayed on strongly to make a winning start at Chester and today's track should be much more to his liking so it should be interesting between him and the selection. Bolt Phantom couldn't handle Silver Line at Nottingham but that was no disgrace as the winner finished a close third in the Norfolk Stakes. He also went to Ascot for the Windsor Castle and ran a bit better than his final position suggests. Smiley Riley was beaten in a strong York seller last time and has plenty to do to get involved here.
